Peter Asher & Company at the Kate July 23 and July 24

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, presents Peter Asher and Company for two performances on Friday, July 23, 2021 at 8:00 pm and Saturday, July 24, 2021 at 2:00 pm. Peter Asher returns to the road this summer with a fine ensemble well stocked with many of his musical cohorts starring Albert Lee, Kate Taylor and Leland Sklar.

Peter was one half of the British Invasion duo Peter & Gordon, and was twice named the Grammy Winner as Producer of the Year for his work with Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor. Today the former A&R Director for the Beatles' Apple Records may be equally well known as the host of "From Me to You" on SiriusXM's The Beatles Channel. He'll perform hits from his history including gems such as "Lady Godiva", "I Go to Pieces" and "A World Without Love" from the Peter & Gordon era.

Peter's stage event also stars the delightful Kate Taylor, whose debut album, "Sister Kate" was produced by Mr. Asher and released 50 years ago. This gathering of talent helps Kate celebrate that anniversary, as well as the impending release of a new Kate Taylor album, "Why Wait", which Peter produced, and on which he, Leland and Albert all played.

The superb British guitar legend Albert Lee (Everly Brothers, Eric Clapton Band) also stars, and he'll no doubt "Tear It Up" with his own brand of roots-laced guitar magic. Iconic bassist Leland Sklar (James Taylor Band, Phil Collins) joins in a starring role, as well; and you'll see why he could dare to call his new book "Everybody Loves Me".

Acoustic guitarist and vocalist Bill Cinque (Neil Diamond Band), vocalist Cara Lee (Bill Medley), drummer Steve Holley (Paul McCartney and Wings), and Jeff Alan Ross (ex-Badfinger) will step into featured roles as well, on keys-guitars-vocals.
